Comparing Invisalign and Inman Brace Systems
|
Invisalign : BETTER AESTHETICS |
Inman : FASTER TREATMENT TIME |
|
Clear/Almost Invisible aligners: |
Less noticeable than braces but not as ‘invisible’ as Invisalign due to the due to the ‘coiled string and metal bar’ mechanism for moving teeth |
|
Suitable for teeth, front and back not just visible front teeth like the Inman |
Only suitable for upper and lower incisors/front teeth : only moves teeth that are visible when you smile, so it is not appropriate for people with more serious orthodontic requirements. |
|
Treatment period is MONTHS: 6-12 months on average |
Treatment period is WEEKS: 6-10 weeks on average |
|
Invisible brace exerts gentle pressure to move teeth |
Aligners utilise ‘spring’ technique to move teeth exerting stronger, more forceful pressure than Invisalign |
|
More Expensive than Inman: cost in region of £3500 |
Far less costly than Invisalign : cost in region of £2000 |
